Sauté Aromatics
- In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Build the Soup Base
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Then, add the chicken broth, spaghetti sauce, and remaining seasonings. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Cook the Noodles
- In the same pot, add the broken lasagna noodles to the simmering soup. Stir occasionally and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the noodles are al dente.
Finish with Cream & Cheese

- Then, mix in mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, or sprinkle them on top before serving.
Serve & Enjoy
